No no it's wednesday that's right oh man we're time traveling just traveling all over this damned country coming out to see you folks you find folks of america shake your hands kiss your babies hold them weird in a photo like joe biden yeah you imagine me holding a stranger's baby in a photo how badly that would

it would be worse than when biden gripped that baby by the crotch by the diaper oh man uh well let's talk about what's trending miles yeah um wes anderson is the number one trending thing people are really starting to feel Wes Anderson. We talked yesterday that he was trending because the first poster came out for his new movie, French Dispatch, and now the first trailer has come out, and it looks very Wes Anderson-y. Could be a mashup of other Wes Anderson movies. What I'm curious about, it looks great

because all his films are shot beautifully. Yeah. I mean, look, do people go to his films because they love the symmetry? I know a lot of people whose home aesthetic is almost informed by Wes Anderson films.

I don't know if it's the films or it's the visuals too that are really the hook point because he is so insistent on center framing and having symmetry in his frames. I'm curious if he were to do a film that was a complete departure from that, like complete departure, what that would look like.

That's a good question. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't think he ever would, though. You know what you get with a Wes Anderson film. I mean, maybe he'll have another period of his career. Ah, right. Yeah, I think that, like, I don't know.

That is the art that appeals to him, clearly, and it just doesn't seem like it's going to change. The only thing, he seems like it's going to change the only thing he he seems like he's getting better like there i i wasn't crazy about uh life aquatic or the darjeeling limited i thought he sort of lost his way on those two and then i loved the music on darjeeling no life aquatic yeah i became the biggest sue george fan after that that was pretty dope but that's the music i thought uh the hotel one is grand budapest jesus christ i didn't get any sleep last night that's all right joe my brain just text joe to 3033 just text joe he'll come by oh three three joe i mean they look the cast looks good it's got every it's pretty much

everyone credible it's It's almost everybody. It's pretty much everybody. Cersei Ronan. Just go down everybody who's been nominated. Yeah, Jeffrey Wright. Yeah. Francis McDormand. Bill Murray.

Adrian Brody. Benicio. Is Chalamet in there? Yeah, Chalamet's in there. Everybody. In a bathtub. Yeah. In the trailer.

And it looks like it's a story told in different vignettes or something vignettes um it looks dope as fuck to me uh a wes anderson fan um sarah sanders is trending it i think because she's trolling people uh trolling the world reality uh she says that trump will have problems with african americans and women and that his language is atrocious. Oh, I'm sorry. She said that about Bloomberg. And then she did a joke. No, I don't think it was a joke.

I think she was just really that was. Oh, you were doing a joke. I was doing a joke. Oh, I thought she was saying, yeah, that would have been funnier if she was. I was doing a joke. Oh, I thought she was saying, yeah, that would have been funnier if she was like... I know I'm succeeding in my job when you think that a joke I made was a Sarah Sanders joke because a lot of people have said that our aesthetic and just sensibility is similar. So that's you and Sarah Sanders.

Me and Sarah Sanders. Definitely for the makeup. Yeah. Yeah, Smokey, yeah. Yeah, that makes sense yeah that um that i don't even know what to say you know because that's so clear about what what do we say here you worked for mr mr racist woman hater mr racist rapist person who just talks open shit talks about how he could murder somebody in the

street uh just says things that make it impossible to explain the world to your child yeah uh in public all the time and i mean look it's either a troll or you or like some of these people they are so up their own asses yeah they can't hear anything except their own thoughts yeah so is that what it sounds like up there you just hear your own thoughts actually when i try flexible i've tried i've only been able to barely get my forehead to touch oh wow yeah huh all right well we're both working on it so we'll work on that come to the live shows and check in our progress which is basically us having our heads up for us for an hour and a half more or less uh macaulay culkin is trending uh this is news to me yeah he auditioned for a tarantino movie he auditioned for once upon a time in hollywood uh and apparently went not good he says quote it was a disaster i

i wouldn't have hired me is what macaul Culkin said. I'm terrible at auditioning anyway, and this was my first audition in like eight years. Oh, boy. I mean, I don't know. You know, the last serious work of his that I saw was maybe My Girl. And I thought he was on a trajectory for dramatic roles. Yeah. But if it's been eight years,

and then you're stepping into a Tarantino audition to, I don't even know, what part would he have played? Maybe one of those guys, that dude who gets beat up on the horse? Yeah. I think the dude on the horse, probably. He would have been Brad Pitt's part. Another thing I like in this article, he's like, setting for the record, please refer to him as Mac.

Oh, really? Macaulay was some uncle. Macaulay was his past identity. Macaulay's the dude who secured the bag. Macaulay's dead. So Mac could thrive. Yes. You know what I mean? I also just can't... Do you think Tarantino really wanted Macaulay Culkin? It seemed like...

Or I'm sorry, Mac? Mac, yeah. Sorry, I didn't know who you were talking about. I wanted to clarify. It seemed like a lot of the performers who played people on the ranch were second generation hollywood or something like that so maybe a couple of them yeah yeah maybe there was some idea that like it was

stunt casting there's like a meta narrative a dozen people yeah um should have got his brother man that's that's the dude who's killing there yeah very good kieran very fine actor is that uh i thought it was yeah kieran culkin right yeah two-year-old tricycle uh is that just being is that trending because i decided i'm on ebay okay a two-year-old tricycle yeah i mean those are those are dope i looked on the google like real-time searches and it says toddler child care tricycle and i'm like in a bunch of different ways and i'm like oh no what's going on there's nothing there's nothing bad here nothing no one was injured but this is what happened a two-year-old boy escaped from his daycare okay and the police found him riding on a tricycle in 35 degree weather okay and they just pulled up

on this kid and like you're trying to go home the kid could barely like you know he's young he didn't really know what the fuck was going on he was disoriented he was like soaked apparently so they had to go to this daycare center which has had four similar complaints in less than five years apparently this is an annual escape escape from daycare toddler fest going on over there. They pulled up and they're like, yeah, so we're going to have to, you're in trouble for a misdemeanor here for a child endangerment.

But they were saying that the front door of this home daycare didn't have a deadbolt and it was easy for a toddler to just reach up and open the door. And I think prior to that they were saying like yeah we tried to explain this is what the police officer said we tried to explain to her maybe some child proofing maybe doorknob covers uh you know if she's watching more than one kid maybe get an alarm or something on the door so if the door opens there's a beeping sound like even

the way this quote comes off sounds like he shouldn't have to be telling someone who owns a child daycare, like, yeah, so here's the bare minimum for a child. Get your knife collection off the floor. Right. Yeah. And maybe let's put something, let's cover these sockets rather than leaving forks, cocktail forks by the sockets. Jesus. Is that your fear as a parent at a child daycare, like your kid gets out? Yeah. as a as a parent like at a child daycare like your kid gets out yeah well i mean i i i leave them at a place that boards them very securely in cages and uh yeah i mean you're you're you have

a million concerns when you leave your child with somebody who's not you uh one of them being you know their physical security and location and you know a hundred others being what they will experience that day that will change you know them forever them forever they have a very limited number of experiences of that at that age and they're so fucking formative yeah like i can think of like things like when even i'll go to therapy or some shit and i try and like really think back i things like when even i'll go to therapy or some shit and i try and like really think back i'm like oh shit that came from like my first hockey coach or some shit yeah yeah do you ever um have you ever been surprised by like you not trusting somebody you love with your child no oh okay you've never you've never been like i don't know i've never

trusted anybody with my child oh you're saying just across the board, you're like, not even my own mother. Right. No, no. I pretty much have always trusted our family with our kids. Because, you know, sometimes I've heard people with hot takes, like with some of my friends who have children now, like who have young children,

kind of like hearing them between the mother and father, like the parents talking about like i don't know though about so and so right and like i get it if that person's a scoundrel yeah but it's funny when you hear them talk about that like about a sibling right or like yeah no yeah well maybe that has something to do with not his child yeah no it's pretty skills i i trust most of the people in my family I mean shit you trusted me to watch your kids and I brought over my knife collection

and my cocktail forks I had a babysitter when I was 7 who did the actual knife through the hand like the shit was alien or it's an old navy sailor game right wait he was hooking

like yo you wanna check something out? You want to see something dope? And then, like, doing the knife in between his fingers, like, back and forth while we were, like, seven years old. I remember I busted the shit out of my hand with a mechanical pencil doing it in sixth grade. Yeah, and that's the worst. It was, because at a certain point,

I was getting hot with it. Yeah. Like, people were cheering, and I was like, oh, shit, I'm going out of body body and then i fucking came down so hard and i couldn't say anything i was just like up i did it and then like i was just like oh no what did you do god damn it anyways another thing you can see at our live show uh so come on come on come all. Us do amateur yoga and some old sailor knife games. Alright guys, that's going to do it for this
